PubSub Pull Topic on AppEngine Standard

[Nicholas Swekosky]

Hello,

I have multiple workers on AppEngine Flex instances pulling from PubSub. I'm looking to cut some costs and was curious if I could deploy these instances to AppEngine Standard instances.

If I deploy workers pulling from a PubSub subscription, will they wake up when a new message is ready to be pulled?

Hello Nicholas, 

You may set up apps in different environments as subscribers to Pub/Sub messaging, all this described on Receiving messages using Pull. It is not clear what you mean by deploying Flex instances to App Engine Standard instances. You can surely adapt code and create separate apps in Standard Environment, if you prefer. 

Pull subscription workers need to actively check for messages, so they won't wake up. If this is not what you want, you should check Using push subscriptions.

Thanks George. I ended up asking the question elsewhere and getting quicker answers.
